@Torben, thanks for your answer. It seems one side effect of becoming a
session handler programmer, is getting a lot of debate. But this is
maybe not unexpected, cause it 'hits' the whole community. Also history
has shown that it will take at least some time to implement a session
handler. So maybe it's not realistic to expect consensus in a relative
short period.

Anyway, to get a more clear picture of the situation, I think it's good
to know what the opinions are from the (former) LASH maintainers. So

@Bob Ham, David Robillard and Juuso Alasuutari,

Can you describe in your own words:

1) What are the strong and weak points of LADI in your opinion and why?

2) What will be a good approach now for getting a Linux audio session
handler in your opinion
(taking also LASH/LADI/Jack Session and Fons ideas in account)?

3) Are you willing to contribute to an solution and how do you see this
(own project / collaboration with other projects etc.).

Please try to keep it short and to the point.

Thanks in advance,

\r
